Very often in the history of statehood, people have been confronted with fragmented judgments at times when unanimity was vital. Cathedrals helped to make a common decision and convey it to everyone.
To bring together people interested in resolving a particular issue, discuss important aspects and come to a common agreement - these are the goals of cathedrals, common gatherings of people united by territory, deed or idea. The history of the Russian state knows church and zemsky cathedrals.
Church cathedrals
The need for church cathedrals arose after the spread of Christian teaching outside of Israel. The first Christians were not able to read the Bible in the form in which it is presented to modern man. The good news was spread orally, through followers of the doctrine, or in writing - through the rewritten epistles of the Apostles.
Under such conditions, disagreement appeared in matters of faith. A variety of faiths and trends sprang up. To preserve the unity of faith and streamline Christian teaching, the first Ecumenical Council was convened. As a result of this work, the Bible appeared - the union of the Old Testament, the epistles of the Apostles and the Apocalypse.
Along with Ecumenical Councils, local ones were also convened. They discussed internal church issues.
